The ceremony, overseen by Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Christopher J. Mahoney, took place midway through a Marine Band concert in which Col. Jason K. Fettig conducted the first half and Lt. Col. Nowlin conducted the second.

Col. Fettig's work as director should go down in the annals of wind band history as the stuff of legends. The recordings, the live performances, the rehearsal webisodes on TH-cam, just fantastic stuff. Looking forward to see what he'll bring to Michigan's storied band program. And to Lt. Col. Nowlin we look forward to seeing you take the ensemble into the next phase of its existence. Good luck, sir!
Totally agree!!!
100% agree I am looking forward to this new era of Marine music.
If you haven’t seen it already, a few days ago Michigan just posted Fettig’s work with their Symphony Band from a concert last month. Definitely worth a listen for any wind band aficionado.
Parabéns ao novo maestro.
@@theosmith1182 Excellent -- thanks for the tip!
Thank you, Col. Fettig. Have enjoyed The President's Own for decades, and appreciate the subtle nuances you introduced. Bravo!
From an old retired Army musician, congratulations to Col. Fettig for a remarkable career. Lt. Col. Nowlin has a hard act to follow, but given the professionalism of the Marine Band, that shouldn't be a problem. Much success to you, Lt. Col. Nowlin as you pick up that baton and kick serious butt. 🙂
Col. Fettig, bless your work ethic, musical knowledge, and your ability to make and share music with the wonderful musicians of the United States Marine Band. I have been forever changed as a band conductor by your example! What a masterful time with the Marine Band. Well wishes and congratulations to Ryan Nowlin as he begins his time with the Marine Band. Semper Fi.
I'm gonna miss Col Fettig😢 he's an amazing band director, he's styles and patterns are all perfect in the band.. I'm in love with his counting while conducting the band
Congratulations to Lt. Col. Ryan J. Nowlin! Well deserved. We are so proud of you!
We were so fortunate to have you as our band director at BBHHS!

I was in this audience during this performance at the Midwest Clinic. It was a great concert. Hats off to them
Thank you, Col. Fettig. We are so grateful for your service!
Congratulations to you Col Fettig and LtCol Nowlin on your remarkable work! I am a retired US Navy keyboard instrumentalist, and my youngest son is in his second year as a double bassist for the band. His Mom is a retired US Army helicopter pilot whose second career was as a professional cellist and music educator. We have attended many concerts over the last 18 months, and let me tell you, this is the finest concert band in America, if not the world. Bravo Zulu to all of you for your dedication to your craft and the USMC! Very proud of all of you. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you and and doing gigs in the DMV with several of you. To each and every one of you, I wish you fair winds and following seas!
Was not a dry eye in the crowd around me. Proud day to be an American!
Congratulations to both Col Fetig and Col Nowlan. The Marine Band is so fortunate to have such incredible and inspired leadership! Thank you for your service and Continued Best Wishes to both!!
Congratulations to Col. Fettig. I have been inspired by your work for years! It was great to meet you at Fredonia for the Wind band symposium. Congratulations to Lt. Col. Nowlin as well!
Col. Fettig, you have been a wonderful conductor and this ceremony passing the baton to
Colonel Nolan has to have been a moment of Joy and Nostalgia.
I hope you both have a wonderful Christmas and New Year wherever you journeys
through life take you.
Cheers,
Frederick Spector
congrats to Col Fettig for a job well done, and to Lt Col Nowlin assuming command of one of the finest bands in the world. And thank you all members of the band for your dedication to duty of the highest standards of excellence as musicians and marines, and keeping this great nation safe and secure. Your streaming has been awesome, and your military bearing is impressive as well. I wish Col Fettig well in his civilian future, and the best for your new commanding officer Lt Col Nowlin as he takes over leadership of your fine band. All I can say is WOW, you guys are awesome! Thank you for a job well done indeed! I salute you. tom o'connor, MSgt, USAF (ret)
It was a pleasure meeting Col. Fettig on several occasions. His association with the International Military Music Society - IMMS was a decided plus for the organization. When the Society visited the Marine Band in 2015 Col. Fettig allowed access to the Marine Library for members of the group. His willingness to answer questions and discuss with the members was first rate. In his time with the band he has accomplished many notable projects. Both IMMS and The Military Music Appreciation Society wish him well on his future projects.
As Col. Fettig’s father’s best friend growing up in Quincy, MA, I can’t imagine the pride he must be feeling. Well done!
So sorry to see Fertig go. One of the great wind band conductors of the last 100 years. He grasped that wind miusic could be played with subtlety. Good luck to lt. Col Nowlin.
Bravo! Congratulations Col. Fettig. Glad we got to meet and work with each other in Hawaii. You have left a great legacy behind! Semper Fidelis Sir! Shout out to the flute section. 🤘
Jason, wishing you all the best as you shift your career to Michigan (?). Just getting caught up n the news.
Congratulations Jason Fettig on your past years as Director of the USMC band & a Welcome to the new Director 🇺🇸🎅🎄
Bravo, Col. Fettig. Job well done. Welcome, LtCol Nowlin. Wishing you both all the very best.

I was at this event. It was a privilege and an honor. Bravo and semper fidelis marines.
Best music at a CoC ever!
Excited for the both of them. Look forward to hearing their bands. U of M is a good fit for Mr. Fettig.
That piccolo part is one of the most touching pages in military music.
Good luck Col. Fettig !
Шановний Пане. Я вас КОХАЮ. Ви моє серце.
Congratulations to Lt Col. Noelin. I'm looking forward to hearing the greatest band under his baton. U.S. Marine band is in great hands. Lead Strong Lt. Col. Noelin.
This is cool because I’m from the school district he taught at before called Brecksville Broadview heights and he is one of the big arrangers we focused on in some of our pieces for concerts even after he left
But yeahThank you col. Fettig for what you have done
Congratulations.
So unusual to see three Euphoniums for this special occasion.
I'm pretty sure they had everyone they could muster (no pun intended) on stage, given that it's their own change of command.
The more euphoniums the merrier.
Congratulations Ryan.
Will we continue to see awesome videos in the future? Just as we did in the past!!!????
Very curious what the trumpets were sharing a smile about around 6:58 lol
When 4 piccolos play in tune... you may as well cancel Christmas...
How can we be sure it's not the same guy with a pair of glasses on? This is so Clark Kent
This was incredible to see live. Do you have video of the speech given by Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Christopher J. Mahoney? His speech about the importance of music would resonate with a lot of people and I would love to see it and show to my students!
Will the entire concert be uploaded to TH-cam?
Your recordings are always supreme.
When you're handed the keys to the Cadillac!
Big shoes to fill...
What’s the piece they play at the beginning?
Congratulations! By the way at 06:46 that trumpet player seems a bit boisterous, and the leader next to him (Immediate left of him) seems to tell him in a subtle way to chill out LOL...He is literally center in the shot while the Piccs are playing. Makes for a great scene...urinalysis Friday 0630 HAHA
We may have saw the an inside look of an inside joke or a musical high-in either case, the smiles from them are infectious!!
@@MichaelWidjaja😂yeah I believe that as well. 21 year Retired Army Band Veteran here. We had a lot of inside jokes too! I Just observed this and wanted to rib a bit ha ha, "calm down, Karl!" Comes to mind 😂😂
There was no eye contact or words spoken, not sure what you're referring to or even if you know who the actual section leader is here.
@@GLC-1979There definitely was an exchange between them of some sort. And yes, that's the principal player, MSgt Amy McCabe.
@@GLC-1979 She is principal trumpet, a MSG. In my imagination a gesture was made 😏🙂. Either way congrats to both COL Fettig and LtCOL Nowlin 👍.
😪
You cannot tell me that isn't the same guy but with glasses
I had to look twice before realizing they were different people.😂
what march is the excerpt from at 1:49?
Does anyone know what the career path of an officer in the Marine Corps Band is like? Do the directors start out as 2nd Lts and work their way up or are they experienced band directors in the civilian sector and then recruited and given rank as Director of the Marine Corps Band. And when the Directors are relieved, do where do they go from there? Do they retire, take charge of one of the regular bands, move to some sort of command that oversees all Marine musicians?
Go to the USMB page and read the bios of the officers. It varies.
There's a change of command for band nerds 😂 you would figure you do enough of playing at them not wanting to do them.
Having no hair on ones head is a requirement to get the position >
